  • Scrabble Prodigy Mack Meller Minds His Ps and Qs, Catches a Few Zs, and Is Never at a Loss for Words
    n 2011, Mack Meller went to Stamford, Connecticut, for a Scrabble tournament. In the fi rst round, as he was settling in, the tournament director interrupted play for an announcement. This was highly irregular. But the news warranted it: Joel Sherman, a forty-nine-year-old former world champion from the Bronx, had just fi nished a game with 803 points — a new world record in tournament play and the fi rst time a tournament player had ever broken 800. Meller and his opponent, having stopped their clocks (in tournament Scrabble each player is allotted twenty-fi ve minutes to make all of his or her plays), placed their tiles face down and walked over to Sherman’s board. So did lots of other players. Meller couldn’t believe it. Eight hundred! That was Scrabble’s holy grail. Sherman had used all seven of his letters — called a “bingo” and good for fi fty extra points — seven times. It was a feat for the ages, but Sherman didn’t win the tournament. Meller did. He was eleven years old. t’s Thursday night, and Meller, now a lanky, sociable seventeen-year-old Columbia fi rst-year, leaves his room in Furnald Hall and heads for the subway. He carries his Scrabble traveling bag, which contains a round board, a chess clock, and a drawstring sack fi lled with exactly one hundred yellow plastic tiles. He gets out in Midtown and walks to a fi fteen-story building at Lexington and East 58th, where, in a room on the twelfth fl oor, the Manhattan Scrabble Club holds its weekly rodeo.

  • ABSP Wedding Prize Puzzle Mikki Wins in Style
    Bimonthly Magazine for the Association of British Scrabble Players ABSP Wedding page 4 Mikki wins in style page 12 Prize Puzzle page 21 Issue 135 - December 2010 from the editor Overall, I’ve been pleased with the feedback from the first issue of Onboard, particularly the emailed pdf version which went down really well. A bit of colour makes all the difference. If any member would prefer to receive their copy of OnBoard as an emailed pdf file, please contact membership secretary, Anne Ramsay at [email protected] Emailed pdfs should arrive a little earlier than the mailed booklets. They will be indexed and in full colour throughout. In general, the colour cover on the magazine also drew approving comments and this magazine again has a colour cover, but it does cost more to print, so I will revert to a black and white cover on editions where I do not have anything worthy of the more costly option. I hope you agree that this issue is worthy. I am very grateful to all the people who have contributed some content to this issue. I really am getting to know who OnBoard’s friends are. Nevertheless, I have again written an unsustainably large proportion of the material myself. I continue to strive to make this a membership magazine as much as a Scrabble one. Please make it your New Year’s resolution: to write something for OnBoard in 2011. Have a great Christmas holiday and New Year. Alec Youth Scrabble Coaching On Saturday and Sunday 15th and 16th January, Alastair and Karen Richards are running a coaching clinic and tournament for young players, in the Girl Guide club room in Coventry.

  • The Association of Premier Scrabble* Players JOEL SHERMAN WINS
    The Association of Premier Scrabble* Players Issue No. 57 NEWSLETTER December 1997 JOEL SHERMAN WINS WORLD TITLE American Joel Sherman is the 1997 World Scrabble Champion. In a battle of New Yorkers, he defeated stand-up comedian Matt Graham 3-1 in the Final. It was a sweet success for Sherman, who had reached the Final in 1995, only to be defeated by Canada's David Boys. One little-known fact about Joel is that he's a member of die APSP! He joined in 1995, when the World Championship was held in London, and has retained his membership ever since. So we can offer our congratulations to one of our own members! For the first two days the tournament had been dominated by the UK team. At one stage, the top four positions were occupied by UK players. But as the pressure mounted the Americans made their move, with Graham winning 13 successive games to secure his place in the Final. The top UK finisher was Mark Nyman in 5th place, with Russell Byers (7th) also achieving a top ten finish. You can read a full report, including Mark's own account of the event, on page 4. ANDY COOK IS NATIONAL CHAMPION The rise of Andy Cook continues unabated. Within three years he's risen from the ranks of the "who's her to become the UK's National Champion. In the Final he defeated Jackie McLeod, 3-0. Andy's winning prize included an expenses-paid trip to Washington DC to watch the World Championship. Not bad for a weekend's Scrabble! The Intermediate title was won by 21-year-old Paul Chadwick, with a magnificent record of 9 wins and 1 tie in his ten games.

  • July 2012: Vol. 4, No. 2 the 2012 Dallas Open: Winter in Spring by Chris Cree 2012 Marked the Final Year for the Dallas Open
    N A S P NASPA Bulletin® The monthly news bulletin of the North American SCRABBLE Players Association A July 2012: Vol. 4, No. 2 The 2012 Dallas Open: Winter in Spring by Chris Cree 2012 marked the final year for the Dallas Open. This was the seventh such event: DO7. The event was born following discussions of divisions and my belief that the players of today have no idea how good they are. Anybody can beat anyone at any time. For many years with our old rating system, one was basically stuck within a division. This was in contrast to the way SCRABBLE tour- naments were when I first started in 1980. All tournaments were single-division. After the formation of divisions, upward move- ment was extremely difficult to maintain and lower-division players never had the oppor- tunity to compare themselves to and com- pete with the best. So, to prove the point, the open tournament was resurrected and the first Dallas Open took place in 2006. In the very first game of the first Dallas Open, Phyllis Owen (Plano, TX), rated no Board 1 at the Dallas Open: (L–R) annotator Dee Segrest (Highland Village, TX), event leader more than 800, bested one of the best players Kate Fukawa-Connelly (Kittery, ME) in the seat she kept throughout the second day, her Round to ever play the game, Robin Pollock Daniel 15 opponent Patricia Barrett (Houston, TX) and annotator Kathleen Watson (Bedford, TX). (Toronto, ON). No matter what happens in the rest of her career, Phyllis has that personal What Happened in Vegas 2012 NSC Update victory that no one can ever take away.

Their hus- bands, Tim & Tim, handled respectively data entry and direction of the event. The event took place at the Inn on Bourbon, a quaint oasis in the midst of the French Quarter. The room was the perfect size for the event. In a wild finish befitting the personality of this city, 6 people had identical records entering the final round.
